The Zombie Apocalypse returns to Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland this
Saturday! The 2nd Annual Silver Spring Zombie Walk is scheduled for October 24th and promises to be even bigger than last year. A grassroots effort, the inaugural 2008 event drew hundreds of participants from throughout the Washington Metro area.

This year’s walk will depart at 9:30PM from the corner of Georgia Ave. and Bonifant St. in Silver Spring. Zombies are encouraged to gather prior to the walk at The Quarry House Tavern (8401 Georgia Ave.) beginning at 8PM for the official Zombie Walk pre-party. The walk will proceed through the core of downtown Silver Spring and conclude at the AFI Silver Theatre (8633 Colesville Rd.) for a special screening of the 2004 British romantic zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Last year’s showing of George A. Romero’s seminal zombie film Night of the Living Dead was a near-
sellout, so purchasing tickets in advance via the AFI Silver’s website is advised.
